Abstract

This paper presents an overview of the development of satellite television in the former Yugoslavia (Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Slovenia and Macedonia) in the period 1991 ÷ 2012. As a precursor to digital satellite TV, a brief analysis of the development of analog satellite TV is given. A number of free and coded channels for the area since the first digital channel are given in charts and graphics. Also, the basic characteristics of direct to home platforms are given, and an overview of the most popular satellite positions used by providers. We have analysed the presence of foreign satellite channels that perform localization of specific languages. The graphs show the development of localization, as well as the representation of specialized genre of foreign satellite channels. Based on the presented analysis, it can be determined in which direction will go further development of satellite television in the observed region.
